Hi Mike,

I understood your question perfectly (have enough English language knowledge to understand it), but thought, you may play with window title to show some helpful info. If you want to alter this particular message, I agree with Craig. I don't know about way of changing it. I suspect, it's build in the VFP itself, so you can not change it.
